Raphael looks on worried and simply hugs Myrn. I... please tell me. We can work through this. We worked through the angel dilemma, we can do this... please?
"Understood." They say, embarrassed by the ensuing silence.
"Like a 1000 gold piece bill to get the material components."
“What do you think of me, Raphael” he looks them dead in the eyes “the complete and total truth” his expression is cold and unsettling
Torinn gets up “I’ll get started on it, do you have a prefered metal? Like iron or steel or something”
“well damn- no one in my family has that kind of money”
They look up at Myrn, fear in their eyes. "I love you, maybe not romantic love, but platonic love definitely. You are cute, and fun to be with. I... I need a celestial to talk to sometimes, and your that person. I confide with you when I can't with my god or others. I trust you, I don't trust you to not play pranks or be serious, but I trust you to be a man of action and of help... Did I lie to you?"
"Mmm... You're the expert, so no." they say, paying for the dinner
"One can only fundraise."
“No, you didn’t” he runs his hand over Raphael’s cheek “which is a shame because that first part kind of let me down” he says the last 5 word in a kind of song song tone, then he goes into whirlwind form and spins around the roof, he continues spinning while going back into his normal/preferred form… he’s nearly lost it
“alright then, same spot tomorrow?”
“true, time to get to sellin shrooms then” she laughs a little
Raphael just stands there, thinking. "I... well... it... um... Just.............. Can we please talk about this? I didn't know you felt that way to me." They say, stumbling over their words.
"Sure, I'm free mostly any time."
"Your choice, someone needs to get the money anyway... maybe church tithes."
“What’s there to talk about?” He laughs “that I like you as more than a friend and you love somebody else? That we can Never be together” he makes a star shaped cloud “way to go superstar~ you have at least three people who want you, so you’re gonna have to disappoint one more” he winks, holding up a finger, the. He takes a step closer to Raphael “look at you, barely able to speak” he spins around some more, “oh and how could you know? I was trying to keep it a secret until those feelings went away, but they Didn’t!”
“I’ll use message to you once I’m done, pleasure making you a glaive” we walks up to his room
“no idea what those are, anyway, I hear there’s certain shrooms here that catch a fair price, I’ll see you once I have the money” she winks
"I trust your wisdom." They say, turning to the stage.
Mmm... Did you talk to your............... partner? They say, offering a hand to hold while they walk.
What patron do you possess?
"Well I'm glad you do, now I'll be off, it was nice meeting you Lysander," Once again his theatre bow, "And I will either see you after my extra performance, or around the tavern." He grabs his can & heads to the stage.
...yes, and he said that he wanted to live once again. She says, not sure to hold their hand or not.
Fiend, before you ask no I can't specify what kind.
They nod, mind elsewhere.
Mmm... I can do that. How long ago did he die? They say, shifting to owlin and patting them on the back.
Worrying...
He goes onto stage, & starts putting on an extra performance for the day. *end or timewarp?*
I didn't ask, sorry I didn't know that was a factor.
Oh relax, they're fine, just don't want to be pinned down like that, as not all take kindly to fiends.
*Your choice*
If it was less than 10 days, I can do it easily. If not... I need to ask the higher-ups and we probably need a really expensive diamond
I can understand as such. Want to talk about something else?
*well I'm starting to use Ken anyways so, yeah Spectacle's always around the tavern*
Ah, well I never asked. Should I go ask Webb now?
I mean we can talk about this if you want, just can't guarantee that's there much I'm allowed to.
*Mmm... Might have Lysander talk to them. Where is Ken?*
Webb? The spider vampire? I would say you do the call, but with the LIMITED information I possess now I would ask them now.
you signed a NDA or something?
*outside both talking to Yuri & saving David from a Peryton, but for rp purposes* Yuri is outside, adjusting her arm bandages while sitting in a tree.
Okay, I'll go ask him, I'll be back.
aaaaaaannnd yup, here come the unanswerable questions, so what topic now?
Lazarus waves to Ken and Yuri. To Ken: "So are we a triad or something?"
Okay... Bye!

Hi everyone! I'm working up the will to finalize my signature, so... I guess this will be the signature for now
*Yo, Lawrence, I know Yuri was people-watching from the roof, so do you want to do some RP with her and one of my two Aasimar brothers?*
*Yo, Elendon, I know the two Aasimar brothers are existing, so do you want to continue RP with them and Lysander?*
*Sure. Not sure where that went though, lol.*
*I responded to it but ill repost it*
Yuri spies (one of the two brothers) and grins. She sends her branched form off to them which appears to their right. "Oooh! So shiny and handsome!"
Egrien (the mage) turns to face her, a couatl draped around his neck. "Aren't you a bit young to be flirting with me....?" He says, chuckling.
"This form is merely an extension" she said "Surrogate mouth, eyes, and ears. If this form were to be hurt by you, though I doubt it, the tree it branches from will now get hurt"

"Forgive the mess, I am trying to regain my sanity again."
Bitrelyn is sitting on the roof, stargazing. (For Torinn.)
There’s a metal butterfly that lands beside Bitrelyn
She smiles, and gently picks it up.
The butterfly has words written on the wings, it says ‘distraction’ then Torinn hugs her, and kisses her cheek
She giggles, and then snuggles back into him. "Hello, my love."
“Hello, did you like my little distraction?”
"It's beautiful, dear." She turns her head, and gently pulls his towards her so she can kiss him.
“It hurt my hands so bad making it” he kisses her, allowing her to pul him towards her
"Ooooo...I'm sorry dear..." She kisses him again. "You don't have to keep making things for me, you know that, don't you?"
“Hmm, yes but it’s fun, and I’m gonna be making a glaive all day for a client”
She pouts slightly. "All day...? No time for me......?"
“I told him it would be done by tomorrow, and weapons take a while to make”
She whimpers slightly, and then grins playfully. "I guess we'll have to make the most of tonight then, won't we, my love?"
“I guess we will” he grins back
She kisses him passionately, slowly turning it into a full-on french kiss.
He leans into the kiss, just as passionate as her
She eventually breaks it, grinning, her eyes crackling with passion. "I think we need a little privacy, don't you...?" Her hands raise small spurts of static electricity as she runs them along him.
“But of course, Ma cheri”
She grins, and wraps her arms around him, and they both vanish from the roof in a whirl of mist, reappearing on the shores of the lake. "I think this will be enough privacy, don't you, mi amor?"
He laughs a little “nobody saw us here last time, so I would think so”
She smiles warmly. "Good." She purrs, as she runs her hands along his body, French kissing him again, and slowly falling backwards into a pile of leaves, pulling him down on top of her.
*Fade-to-black now!*
[[ wEe ]]
*Hehehe...There may be surprises coming sometime soon......*
The sun crests over the mountains, shining on the sleeping couple in their little nest outside, Bitrelyn nestled in Torinn's arms. She blinks a few times, and smiles. "Good morning, my love..." She gently rolls over so she's facing him, and tenderly kisses him, her eyes almost seeming to shine in the morning light.
"I trust your wisdom." They say, turning to the stage.
Mmm... Did you talk to your............... partner? They say, offering a hand to hold while they walk.

"Well it's actually four, as Webb is now a vampire too, or should I say vampider. But he doesn't properly know you two yet I believe."
She runs off to find the vampider.
I dunno, dandelions? Don't do flower stuff that much.
*Yo, Lawrence, I know Yuri was people-watching from the roof, so do you want to do some RP with her and one of my two Aasimar brothers?*

He chuckles. "You're right about one thing, at least partially: I won't hurt you, this form, or your true form, most likely, although I easily could." He smiles. "I am Egrien, grandson of Valinor, a Solar in the service of Bidona."
Raphael looks on worried and simply hugs Myrn. I... please tell me. We can work through this. We worked through the angel dilemma, we can do this... please?

"Look, one there are many kinds of love, not just romantic. Two, just because you have a crush on me doesn't mean I'm yours. Sure, I understand that those feelings being rejected hurt but just because they do doesn't make you entitled to kidnap me or something. Third, I am here to help you but I will not just bend to your wills, understand? Just because you want to be more than friends doesn't mean we have to be lovers, and even if so that doesn't mean I am destined to be with you." Raphael says, putting the foot down. *Who is the third person? Lore, Myrn and...?*
Lazarus waves good bye and looks for Myrn *aka in stasis till Raphael is done*
"Will do." They say, sipping their drink. "Good luck."
